POST-HEARING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR THE APRIL 24, 1990, HEARING BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES UNITED STATES SENATE WITNESS: JAMES F. DECKER ACTING DIRECTOR OF ENERGY RESEARCH QUESTIONS FROM SENATOR FORD Magnets Question 1: When will the magnet design for the SSC be complete? Answer: The design for the four-centimeter bore magnet has been completed Question: Answer: What is the present status of the work? An inter-laboratory task force was formed early in 1990 to provide recommendations on design choices for the 5 centimeter collider dipole magnet. These recommendations are being incorporated by those performing the conceptual design work at the SSC Laboratory, Fermilab and Brookhaven. Collider quadrupole design work is being done at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. design will begin soon. First tests of 1-meter models of the latest Design work on the High Energy Booster (HEB) magnets is just getting underway. Question: Answer: Who is doing the design work? The design work is being managed by the SSC Laboratory and is being performed at the SSC Laboratory, Fermilab, Brookhaven and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The SSC Laboratory has lead responsibility for the High Energy Booster dipoles. Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory has lead responsibility for quadrupoles. Fermilab has lead responsibility for collider dipole cryostats. Brookhaven has lead responsibility for collider dipole cold masses. Question: Answer: Who is reviewing the work? The SSC Laboratory has prime responsibility for ensuring that the |
